PORTLAND—It wasn’t your typical battle between an undefeated squad and a .500 team when the Cape Elizabeth Capers hosted Edward Little in a boys’ hockey showdown Thursday afternoon at Troubh Ice Arena.

While the Capers had yet to lose in 10 outings, they knew that nothing would come easily against the Red Eddies, who have played everyone on their schedule tough and who just happened to be coached by the most storied coach in state history, Norm Gagne.

And sure enough, it wasn’t the Capers’ day, as Edward Little controlled play much of the way en route to an impressive victory.

Neither team could break through until the Red Eddies went on the power play late in the first period and they took advantage, as senior Eli Thibodeau scored to break the ice.
